Rangers Fansí Wallets Would Get Break with Letdown Season

The Post has learned and confirmed that the Garden will not increase prices for 2018-19 season subscriptions if the Blueshirts fail to qualify for the first time since 2010.

Renewal notices were sent early last week to subscribers, who were notified of a new 11-month payment-plan option beginning next month. The Garden has given ticket holders the right to cancel their subscriptions if prices increase for 2018-19. We now know, however, that an increase could only go into effect if the Blueshirts qualify for the postseason.

I'm sure they'll raise prices everywhere else

I remember in the 05-06 season after the lockout, the cheap seats were like $25ish. I get that the prices go up when the team gets good and all. But I honestly don't know how anyone affords season tickets. One game for me is like a 'ok, I can go to a game but I'll just have to penny pinch the rest of the week'

Honestly, the fact that these prices changing is contingent on merely making the playoffs is a slap in the face at this point. The change in ticket prices during the 13 year stretch from the 05' lockout is significant enough for even a cup winning team, which this team has obviously not done.

It's (sports) entertainment. Try a concert lately or a B'way show? Ticket prices are nuts everywhere...F-1, Nascar, IndySeries...heck, even a walk-about outdoor museum costs $16. The only hockey 'deal' we get to enjoy at our house is a West Point game - $12 for a seat to watch these guys play their hearts out!

05-06 my tickets cost $22. Two years ago $54. Last year $70. This year $90.
I told them I was done in October. They renewed our seats in March last year and decided to do dynamic pricing in August. At that point I asked for a refund but they refused saying I renewed which I did under different terms. In October I was sent an email sent out by msg to Wall Street on why to buy msg stock. This was an email by msg. It stated that msg was moving away from season ticket holders because they valued having different people filling the seats each night because those people are more likely to spend while at the game. They purposely are pushing season ticket holders out. That was enough for me. I told my rep at that point that I don’t want them charging me for another thing. Not renewal or playoff seats. I didn’t go to one game this year and ate a shit load of money trying to resell. I’m done going to the garden

I will forever be a ranger fan. My kids, twin boys, however are 3. I kept my seats the past couple of years with hopes to bring them with me in the near future. They will now grow up devil fans because that is what I can afford and I will not give the rangers my money. They purposely stick it in my ass after years of loyalty. It is their prerogative to do so as it is mine to tell them to go screw.

How is that drama? It’s reality for me at least. I can’t afford it. The rangers seemed concerned enough about what the fans think to send out a stupid memo telling everybody their intent. They sent it out to pacify their fan base, yet they are completely tone deaf to what any common season ticket holders concerns are. Msg has become a morgue and believe me I’m not the only one that sits around me that have a problem with the pricing. I’m not being dramatic. I’m posting my position as a season ticket holder for 15 years. I’m not renewing, not because they are rebuilding because I’m all for that. I’m not renewing becsuse I can’t afford it and quite honestly it’s getting to the point when most can’t. And again the memo sent out by them states they really don’t want season ticket holders, at least those sitting in the $90 cheap seats. I think they are misguided but we will see. In 05-06 they begged people to come back and went out of their way to show appreciation. Now the team is seemingly going into some tough times and a new cba is coming too. As a businessman I get maximizing your profits. However the good times don’t last forever and your loyal paying customers are not the ones you want to spit on because they aren’t infinite. We’ll see.

ĎFairnessí would reward FF for his long-term investment in the team. (1. Dynamic pricing is a bitch. 2. The Wall Street letter is insulting to season ticket supporters.)

A hybrid system would reward the season ticket holder with Ďflat rateí pricing like it always has existed AND dynamic pricing for single-game buyers. A computer could easily manage this idea. But this is too altruistic for a business. Is it? Money is the root of all evil as they say and banging a longstanding customer like FF is evil IMO.

Yeah, life happens and all that but isnít it sad that he has to corrupt these fine young children by turning them into Devils fans? (Child Protective Services has been called.)

The truth of the matter is that as you age and earn more you expect to have to pay more but you can if everything goes well.

MSGís blatant and professed money-grab is unfortunate. Their ability to sell out every game has created a culture of greed. I donít like it but see it for what it is.

I hear that they want to get rid of some season tickets. I heard that if someone doesn't renew their subscription, they aren't going to fill it because they don't have any single game tickets available, everything is almost all season subs. It costs me an arm and a leg to go to a game, but my kids love it, so I take them to 1 game a year. All New York sports are overpriced. Giants tickets are far worse than what the garden charges.

I heard the same thing and by creating packages they can generate more $$$. My kids are older and my oldest has finished college, works and buys his own ticket when we go to the game, but I'll pay for eats and drinks. However, he'll buy a beer for his dad and it is all worth it.

Yea. I can't believe those who paid to sit during the games this year. That must have been especially brutal. I try to go to a game at least once a year. I love live games and the atmosphere but it's too much for my pocket. It's a shame to. They just keep going up in price.

Yeah, a guy I work with has season tickets to the Jets, and he pays that PSL plus the tickets, and then on top of that, if you drive there, you have to buy the parking passes as well, they aren't part of the season tickets. Anytime there is a PSL, fans are dumb if they buy season tickets. I love going to live games as well, but its so expensive to go now, Id rather just watch from home.
